MILAN, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Maire Tecnimont S.p.A. (Milan: MT.MI) announces that its subsidiary NextChem
has been awarded a contract by TotalEnergies to carry out a FEED and supply its
technological know-how to implement a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant in
Grandpuits, France, capable of processing 400,000 tons/y. The project is part
of the plan to convert the Grandpuits Refinery into a zero-crude platform that
will include a Bio Refinery, where NextChem is already engineering Europe's
first plant to produce compostable and biodegradable plastics, with a capacity
of 100,000 ton/y.
The BioJet plant, due to be operational in 2024, will strengthen NextChem's
role in TotalEnergies's net-zero strategy as a major part of the Grandpuits
Refinery zero-crude platform development, known as "Projet Galaxie".
The "Projet Galaxie" will produce BioJet fuels by treating animal fats from
Europe and used cooking oil. This new unit will be aligned with France's
roadmap for sustainable aviation biofuels, which includes a target of 2% by
2025 and 5% by 2030.
SAF (or BioJet) technological know-how is one of NextChem's key component of
its green-tech portfolio that makes Maire Tecnimont Group an enabler of the
Energy Transition. Contributing to a sustainable mobility through solutions to
produce green, low carbon and biofuels is one of Maire Tecnimont Group's
priority goals towards 2025, within its sustainability strategy.
Pierroberto Folgiero, Chief Executive Officer of Maire Tecnimont Group and
NextChem commented: "We are very happy to continue strengthening our strategic
collaboration with a prestigious global player like TotalEnergies: being the
partner of choice for its ambitious Grandpuits energy transition project is
exciting, as innovative corporations have pioneering goals and may make the
difference in Europe's challenging path to decarbonization. Combining Maire
Tecnimont's leading experience in EPC contracting in the natural resources
transformation sector worldwide, with NextChem's focus on deploying solutions
in carbon footprint reduction through the development of new technologies is a
winning value proposition. The air transportation sector is looking for
biofuels solutions urgently, to cope with the challenging targets for GHG
emissions reduction. This partnership will give a concrete answer to a concrete
need."
